Unconsciously, Chen Xiao has become the backbone of everyone.
Although Pang Hao and others were angry, they had no choice but to rely on Chen Xiao's formation.
Finally at dawn, the white skeletons retreated one after another, leaving behind devastation all over the ground.
"Miss Qiao, will the mission continue?"
Xiang Gaoyi began to back down. Logically speaking, they accepted the task and could only leave if their employer canceled it.
If the employer refuses to cancel and they leave privately, the Qiao family can go to Tianyu Sect to ask for compensation.
Moreover, Tianyu Sect will also have to bear corresponding losses. Under normal circumstances, no one will quit voluntarily.
"go back!"
Qiao Shan took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.
As long as the employer proposes to cancel, they will still receive the corresponding points, and the Qiao family will pay the Tianyu Sect as agreed.
Compared to surviving, losing some resources is nothing.
Chen Xiao had no objection and continued to move forward, which was indeed very dangerous.
"Miss Qiao, is there any other way to the camp?"
Chen Xiao asked.
Although he didn't care, he didn't complete the task and got the task points, but he always felt sorry. After all, the Qiao family also suffered heavy losses this time.
Only by delivering the goods on time can the Qiao family minimize their losses.
"Yes, but it will take several days to go around."
Qiao Shan was a little depressed. The Qiao family was originally a small family, and this mission was very important. Once it was lost, it would be difficult for the Qiao family to turn around in the next few years.
For these small families, a slight loss will shake the foundation.
No one spoke, four guards pushed the box, and Chen Xiao and Xiao Yue joined in.
Two guards were lost and now they are short of manpower.
After walking about fifty meters, three corpses appeared in front of them. They were Shi Ping and the two guards who died last night.
"Take them with you and bury them alive!"
These guards, in Qiao Shan's heart, were also members of the family, so he asked the older guard to put away their bodies.
"Don't touch them."
Chen Xiao suddenly interrupted them and told them not to touch the body.
The older guard suddenly retracted his hand, but Xie Zhicheng had already touched Shi Ping's body. He was a disciple of Tianyu Sect and he must take it back with him. He had an explanation.
"Chen Xiao, what happened?"
Everyone was like a frightened bird. Chen Xiao shouted loudly, making them alert.
Chen Xiao couldn't explain clearly, he just felt something was wrong.
Xie Zhicheng quickly took a step back.
At this moment, Shi Ping suddenly jumped up and looked directly at them.
Everyone's pores stood up. Shi Ping was already dead. His heart was empty and there was no way he could come back to life.
Empty eyes with no eyeballs are very uncomfortable to look at.
"Shi Ping, are you not dead?"
Pang Hao asked tentatively.
"He is already dead. His soul has been occupied by evil spirits. He belongs to the magpie's nest."
Chen Xiao's soul power was different from ordinary people, and coupled with the power of the Nine Heavens Divine Pillar, he instantly penetrated Shi Ping's soul sea and found an evil spirit occupying it.
The evil invisible substance, no one knows what form it is, but it really exists.
"Chatting disc..."
Shi Ping let out a weird laugh that made people feel chilled all over.
There was a sound like teeth rubbing against each other, and everyone took a step back.
"what should we do?"
Xie Zhicheng was a little panicked. He had never seen such a weird side. A person could still stand up after death.
Qiao Shan looked at Chen Xiao. Fortunately, he had reminded him in time, otherwise the two guards might have stood up.
"Fire, don't touch him, lest evil spirits take over your body."
Chen Xiao thought for a while and decided that the best way was to use fire to completely turn Shi Ping into ashes.
After Shi Ping made a strange cry, he walked towards them step by step with a long sword in hand.
This is a tendency to attack them. If you don't fight back, you will be infected by Shi Ping.
The evil spirit can continue to split, one becomes two, splitting without limit.
"I have kerosene here!"
The older guard took out a bucket of kerosene and handed it to Pang Hao.
He has the highest level of cultivation, so it would be best for him to burn Shi Ping to death.
"Burn it!"
Although they came together, in order to survive, they had no choice but to burn Shi Ping.
After pouring kerosene on Shi Ping's body, Xie Zhicheng immediately lit the fire, and Shi Ping let out a shrill scream.
A few minutes passed before Shi Ping was completely reduced to ashes.
The same goes for the two guards of the Qiao family. They burned them all as a precaution.
After doing that, everyone moved on.
"There is no road ahead!"
After walking for about half an hour, there was no road ahead. A long ravine divided the entire Black Scale Mountains into two.
The ravine was very long, fifty meters wide and bottomless, and a terrifying black mist was released from below.
They are only in the Spiritual Martial Realm and cannot fly. It is difficult to reach the other side at such a long distance.
Even Chen Xiao would find it difficult to do this.
In addition, there are still goods, which makes it impossible to pass.
"What happened last night? Did the Earth Dragon turn over?"
Rong Licheng waved his fist fiercely, and the way back was cut off, so he could only continue walking forward.
Who knows if there is any danger ahead.
Earth dragons turn over, also known as earthquakes. Powerful earthquakes can crack the earth's crust.
The scene in front of me is not like an earth dragon turning over, but more like a strange phenomenon of heaven and earth.
"Let's walk along the ravine for a distance to see if there is a road ahead."
Qiao Shan had calmed down and led everyone along the ravine. After walking for several hours, the end of the ravine could no longer be seen.
"What should we do? It will get dark soon, and we have to spend time in the Black Scale Mountains."
A gap has opened in Xiang Gaoyi's heart. Thinking of last night's scene, he is still frightened.
"We can only move on, through the Black Scale Mountains."
Chen Xiao spoke at this time. Since the way back was cut off, let's move on.
"No, I'm not leaving!"
Xiang Gaoyi was the first to stand up and object. They could stay here. If other monks passed by, they could invite experts to lay bridges for them.
They thought of cutting down huge trees and building bridges, but all failed without exception.
The black mist floating up from below the pit instantly eroded the trees completely.
These black gases have strong corrosive power.
The opinions on the field were not unanimous, Xiao Yue supported Chen Xiao, and took advantage of the fact that it was still early to drive a little further and try to reach Yingcheng the day after tomorrow.
The Qiao family guards also supported Chen Xiao, Pang Hao and Rong Licheng thought it was safer to stay where they were.
People come in to practice in the Black Scale Mountains every day. As long as other monks appear on the other side, they will be saved.
"Miss Qiao, it's up to you to decide."
Xiao Yue looked at Qiao Shan, letting her make the decision.
"Let's vote on it."
Qiao Shan did not make a private decision this time, but everyone voted, and the minority obeyed the majority.
Judging from the situation on the court, the majority agreed with Chen Xiao, and the four guards definitely agreed with Chen Xiao.
If Chen Xiao's advice had been followed last night, the two companions would not have died.
Four guards, plus Pang Hao, Rong Licheng, Xiang Gaoyi, Xie Zhixin, Qiao Shan, Chen Xiao, Xiao Yue, a total of eleven people.
"The four of us all obey Mr. Chen."
The four guards were the first to stand up and support Chen Xiao.
Including Xiao Yue, there are already five people.
Pang Hao, Rong Licheng, and Xie Zhixin supported Xiang Gaoyi, only four people.
Even if Qiao Shan supports Pang Hao and the others, there are still not enough people. There are six people here including Chen Xiao.
"I support Mr. Chen!"
Qiao Shan expressed his support for Chen Xiao.
I made a mistake the first time, and I don’t want to make a mistake the second time.
"Let's go!"
Chen Xiao said something, and the four guards pushed the box back along the original path.
Pang Hao and the four others were left standing there with angry looks on their faces.
"Senior Brother Pang, what should we do?"
Xiang Gaoyi has no idea now. Without Chen Xiao's formation protection, the four of them will definitely die at night.
